but saw low inning counts: Gibson was second on the team with innings pitched, while his rotation mate Lance Lynn led MLB with 84. Gibson was tapped for his first career opening day start in , where he was pulled after only one out after giving up five earned runs to the Kansas City Royals and briefly lifting his ERA to 135.00. His opening day outing proved to be a fluke, as Gibson's ERA over his next five starts was only 0.82, and he did not allow a single home run in the month of April. After leading the AL with a 1.98 ERA and a 6–0 record through his first 16 starts, Gibson received his first All-Star Game selection in 2021, joining his Rangers teammates Joey Gallo and Adolis Garcia. Philadelphia Phillies On July 30, 2021, Gibson was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies along with Ian Kennedy, Hans Crouse, and cash considerations in exchange for Spencer Howard, Kevin Gowdy, and Josh Gessner. He recorded his 1,000th career strikeout in his Phillies debut on August 1, fanning Michael Pérez of the Pittsburgh Pirates in the fifth inning of a 15–4 Phillies rout. In 2022 he was 10-8 with a 5.05 ERA in 167.2 innings over 31 starts. He gave up 24 home runs, 10th-most in the NL. Baltimore Orioles On December 5, 2022, Gibson signed a one-year contract with the Baltimore Orioles.

His changeup breaks to the opposite side of the former two pitches, while the curveball serves as a surprise from the other five.
